Most people who want to make money blogging often have to make a crucial first decision about where they can put up their blog. And what looks like an easy question is actually one of the most important elements to blogging success. In fact, some blog service providers make blogging for money an easier task, while other providers do nothing towards that direction.

But which blog hosting services are perfect for your money-making blog, and which ones don’t cut muster? Below is a short list of the biggest names in blogging so that you can decide which service is best for your blog:

1. Blogger.com
The charm of Blogger.com is the fact that it’s easy to use. All you need to do is choose a username and password, fill in a few small details, and voila! Your blog is ready. There aren’t any costs, and Blogger.com assures you that you don’t need to know a single thing about blogging to put up a site with them. Unfortunately, Blogger ultimately isn’t very customizable, and is unable to support a lot of elements often found in professional blogs (e.g., static pages, plugins, and other add-ons and tools).

If you’re into blogging only as a hobby, for personal reasons, or just for kicks, Blogger’s simplicity will definitely fit your purposes, If you want to make money, however, Blogger probably can’t support your site very well, as opposed to other hosting services.

2. WordPress.com
With WordPress, bloggers have all the freedom to pick between the free blogs at WordPress.com and the self-hosted, fully-customizable blogs from WordPress.org. Basically, WordPress.com echoes the services that Blogger.com already offers, but with a few more goodies in the package. WordPress.com blogs cost nothing, are easy to set up, and don’t require a lot of hardcore internet know-how for you to maintain your blog.

WordPress.org, on the other hand, supports monetization much better than WordPress.com can. The downloadable blogging software doesn’t cost a thing, and, unlike WordPress.com, will let you add thousands of free templates and money-making plugins to enhance your blog’s functionality. The problem with this is that you’ll have to find and pay for web hosting to your own blog. WordPress.org also tends to be very confusing to newbie bloggers, and will actually require at least some technical skills before you can finally put up your blog.

3. SOLOBIS.net
This exciting new service provides free SOLOBIS.net WordPress Blogs , which gives bloggers the best of both the WordPress.com and WordPress.org worlds. Throw in its focus on helping its users make money with their blogs, and you have an unbeatable combination for those who want to blog for a living (or earn a fortune with it).

Upon signing up for a free SOLOBIS account, you will immediately receive a blog that has a SOLOBIS.net subdomain (e.g., www.johnsmith.solobis.net). SOLOBIS.net blogs are run on the WordPress engine, which is good news for WordPress enthusiasts, since you’ll already be familiar with the controls. The great thing about this service is that it combines the ease of use and convenience of WordPress.com with the customization and monetization capacities of WordPress.org. Each SOLOBIS.net blog is already bundled with the best money-making plugins in the WordPress scene, along with over a hundred beautiful templates to choose from.

The great thing about SOLOBIS.net is that it’s done most of the work for you, having pre-installed the best templates and money-making WordPress plugins in every blog. You don’t have to go hunting for good plugins anymore, since SOLOBIS.net blogs already have the best that the WordPress community has to offer. This is a blessing for beginner bloggers, since it’s simple and profitable, but it also benefits more experienced bloggers, who can only stand to earn more as they make money blogging.

Although Blogger.com and WordPress.com are great for beginners, they fail to provide adequate support for blogs that exist to make money for their owners. And while WordPress.org definitely provides top-notch service and a lot of customization legroom, turning up a profit can take a long while, since you’ll have to do all the testing work on your own.

With SOLOBIS.net, however, a blogger doesn’t have to be an expert to start making money right away — all the tools are already there, waiting to be used on your journey to your online fortune. From the looks of it, you can’t find a better combination of convenience, versatility, and profitability as the one that the SOLOBIS.net WordPress Plan is already offering to its users.
